Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall find the solution of this problem with the help of vector notation of i , j , which show east and  north direction .

The first displacement can be represented by the following

D₁ = - 3 cos 45 i + 3 sin45 j = - 3 / √2 i + 3 / √2 j

The second  displacement can be represented by the following

D₂ = - 5 cos 45 i - 5 sin45 j = - 5 /√2 i - 5 /√2 j

The third  displacement can be represented by the following

D₃ =  4 cos 45 i + 4 sin45 j =  4 /√2 i + 4 /√2 j

Total displacement D =

D₁ +D₂ + D₃

= i ( -3 -5 + 4 ) / √2 + j ( 3 - 5 + 4 ) / √2 j

= - 4  / √2 i + 2 / √2 j

D = - 2.8288 i + 1.414 j

Magnitude of D

= √ ( 2.8288² + 1.414² )

= 3.16 miles

For direction we calculate angle with X axis

Tanθ = 1.414 / 2.8288

θ = 26 °

As x is negative and Y is positive ,

the direction will be north of west .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of polygon = area of square + area of triangle

Square:

Side = 12 cm

Area of square  = side *side

                          = 12 * 12

                          = 144 sq.cm

Triangle:

base (b) = 12 cm

Height h = 19 cm

Area =\frac{1}{2}bh\\\\=\frac{1}{2}*12*19\\

= 6 * 19

= 114 sq.cm

Area of polygon = 144 + 114 = 258 square cm

Answer: For Last Question 4.50

Step-by-step explanation:It depends on the price per pound. Let's say the price per pound is 50 cents (or 0.50). (This is an example, the answer I'm giving will most likely NOT be correct, due to the nature of your question - sorry!) To calculate the price of Derek's package, you would multiply 7 (the weight of the package) by 0.50 (the price per pound), which totals to 3.50 Next, to calculate the price for Keisha's package, you'd do the same thing, but instead of multiplying 7 by the price per pound, you would multiply 10 by the price per pound, or 0.50. This multiplies out to 5 dollars. Next you'd subtract Derek's price from Keisha's, which is 5 - 3.50 or 1.50. If it is asking for a percentage, it would be about 150%.
